Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor Moonbug Entertainment, the kids media company behind Netflix’s massively popular “CoComelon” series, appointed Courtney Holt its new managing director for the Americas.

Holt takes over the position from Andy Yeatman, who is departing Moonbug for an unspecified new gig. Holt, a digital media veteran who has worked at Spotify and Disney, joined Moonbug earlier this year as the company’s first global head of music and strategic audio initiatives, areas he will continue to oversee in his newly expanded role.

As Moonbug’s head of the Americas, Holt will oversee the company’s originals strategy, leading the creative and commercial teams in North America that create and distribute film and TV content through a network of global partners.

Holt reports to René Rechtman, founder and CEO of Moonbug. “As a parent, I’m inspired by Moonbug’s ability to craft CoComelon, Blippi and other shows with creativity and care,” Holt said in a statement. “Millions of families love these shows because they’re fun and enriching.
